Public Speaking.

Hon. H. M. Randel will address the people at Bainbridge on Saturday evening, Nov. 3, at 7 o’clock. All are cordially invited to attend. The people are still of opinion that they cannot be made rich and prosperous by taxing them to benefit manufacturing monopolists, hence they will vote the Democratic ticket

next Tuesday.

Repcbmcans are opposed to the nnv tax law, tbe new. school book law, the reform ballot law ; they op posed these laws in the legislature and have endeavored to defeat them in the courts If you favor these meas ures you should vote the Democratic

ticket.

Heed this fact, for it is a fact. No one who has heretofore voted the Democratic ticket can afford to scratch this year. Democratic success means a good and economical administration of public affairs ; Republican success means the repeal of the reform measures passed by the Democratic party, and a return to the methods of taxation, whereby the many were taxed for the benefit of

the few

Proclaim it from the hill tops! The good Democratic times are here! They came without any flourish of trumpets, hut they are here just the same. And they arrived shortly aftjr the honest, the equitable, the righteous, the new Democratic tariff measure became a law. Croakers are relegated to the rear, and business is business from this on ; all business men are hustleing, all farmers are hustlcing, all mechanics are hustleing, all the people arehustleing and they are enjoying the fruits of the hustle they have taken upon themselves. I he dollars are as easily camel as ever, and when earned they buy more than ever—they are not forced to pay 50 cts out of each dollar as a sop to protective tariff taxation. Republican calamity howlers continue to howl, hut their how! is based on nothing and is mean-

ingles.

Only a few days now until the election ; the votes cast on that day will decide a great battle ; a battle fought by tbe Democratic party in the interest of the people, in favor of reform in ti e conduct of public business affairs, economy in public expenditures ami a system of taxation that is equitable and just to the poor as Will iii- the rich. It is a light of thu classes against'the masses, in which the masses are championed by the Democratic party. It is a contest for reform in tariif taxation in which the Democracy stand up and do battle for reform. The indications now arc that the Demrcracy will be victorious in this State, in this Congressional district, in this judicial circuit, in this joint representative dis trict, in this county, and in each and every township in Putnam county that have ever gone Democratic in the past twenty years, if a full Democratic vote is polled. It is a sacred duty on the part of Democrats to go to the polls and vote a straight Democratic ticket, and use their best - eudea vors to induce their neighbors

to do likewise.

It is well to remember that the Republican party, true to the traditions of »he pn»t, will halt atnothing which is calculated to secure victory for them. They will e’en go so far as to sacrifice the major portion of their ticket to gain strength for the remainder; they will dicker, swap, or trade if Democrats will listen to them ; they will importune Democrats for “complimentary” votes, etc., but the

The Democrat who is true to himself and true to his party will vote the Democratic ticket next Tuesday, with out a scratch. This is no time to vent personal spite or dispense com plimentary votes Vote for the Democratic County Ticket; vote for the Democratic Township Tickets ; vote for the Democratic Judicial Ticket; vote for the Democratic Legislative Ticket; vote for the Democratic State Ticket, and thus rebuke the party of trusts, monopolies, protection a~d extravagance. The Democrats of the various townships should he on the alert and see that their candidates for Trustee are elected. Neighborho6d jealousies and personal antagonisms should be cast aside in this matter, to the end that the Democratic candidates for Trustee he elected. Good politics, sound Democracy, and the best inter ests of all concerned demand this. When you go to the polls to vote, next Tuesday, you will he given three different ballots to vote—a state ballot, a county ballot, and a township ballot. The correct method of voting these ballots is the same in each case. If you wish to vote a straight ticket stamp inside the large square in which the rooster stands, stamp it there once, and stamp nowhere else. If you want to vote a mixed ticket do not stamp the rooster hut stamp in the small square to the left of the name of each man for whom you desire to vote. The Republicans have a scheme on foot that needs only publicity to make it obnoxious. They are exerting themselves and putting forth e very effort to elect a majority of the township trustees to the end that they may elect Charley Case County Superintendent of Schools when the ti me for the election of this officer by the new trustees rolls around. No greater calamity could befall the public schools of the county than the election of this blatant demagogue and rabid Republican calamity bowler to so responsible a position in our county school system. The friends of pure elections as amplified by the Australian ballot system ; of the new school book law, as amplified by the school books furnished to the people at half former p rices or less ; of the new tax law, as am plified by its taxing rich corporations and individuals according to th tir financial worth, just as the poor man is taxed, should remember that these measures are of Democratic origin, passed by Democratic legislala tures, and enforced by Democratic o tlicials, and that the Republican party opposed their enactment, and antagonized their enforcement. If the Republicans should triumph these laws would be repealed or so amended that they would be jjf no

ellect.

There is no crime in holding office, especially if the officer disharges the duties of the office in a creditable, honest, intelligent and satisfactory manner. The calamity howling organ, known as the Banner-Times, has had much to say recently in regard to the ojlices held heretofore by Hon. II. M. Randel and James L. Randel; the slurs on these gentlemen have been indirect, but their intent was plain. No charge is made that they were incompetent or dishonest, but the fact that they have held office and have proven honest and compe tent officials is held up to the public gaze as worthy of adverse criticism. The B.-T. should not throw stones while it lives in a glass house. One of the candidates on the Republican ticket can see Harry Randel and go him several months better—Janies McD. Hays has held public office for sixteen years and several months, and his sons have each held office in tne postal service for over four years; possibly this record is subject to the same critic ism, on a larger scale, as that given to Mr. Randel in the B. T., but it has neter given ihe least attention to the matter. If there is anything radically wrong in Mr. Randel holding office for sixteen years and his son for four years, it “iirely is mr>re wrong for Hays to hold office over sixteen years and his

sons each in office for over lour years.

its lack of honesty, us devouiness of principle in giving space week in and week out to this sort of peanut politics —it is in keeping with its record in the past, which is shameless, small and

their honied words.

Stamp in the square by the side of the rooster. Stamp your ticket there and stamp it nowhere else, and you will vote a straight Democratic ticket and perform a righteous act.

scurrilous.

WHltf you stamp your tickets stamp only in the square which contains the rooster; if you stamp your tickets anywhere else you will be apt to lose your vote. That Republican inquity, McKinleyism is dead—a goed round Democratic majority next Tuesday will bury the corpse so deep that it will never again appear in public view If every Democratic vote in Indiana is polled next Tuesday the Democratic majority in the State will not fall shoit of L’o.OOO. See to it that you go to the polls and vote, and that your neighbor does so to. The leaders and steerers of the Republican party aie pledged to repeal the new tax law, ihe new school book law, and change the election law so that bribery and fraud may again be made possible You cannot afford to vote for a Republican candidate for office. When you go into the election booth next Tuesday stamp in the square where the rooster stands; stamp right there with infinite care ; 'twill be a good job of stamping and he’ll get there. By-the way, after you stamp use the blotting paper, so that your fair mark will not be blurred and your vote thereby lost. The money being used in 'this campaign by the Repuhlicau’Jparty, and they are using lots of it, is contributed by Pullman, Carnagie, and the protected manufacturing monopolists who know that Republican victory insures them further opportunity to rob the people by legislative enactment. Every Demccrat should beware cf the tempter who asks that a •‘complimentary” vote he given him on 'next Tuesday—complimentary votes have been known to do great harm—if you are a Democrat vote a straight Democratic ticket and let Republicans cast the complimentary votes for Republican candidates. Tins Democratic vdministratiou has conducted the country safely through and safely out of the Republican panic of H93-94 ; it has reformed the tariff in the interest of the taxpaying masses; it has wiped out the iniquitous federal election law ; it bus made it possible to tax the rich man’s greenbacks; it has legislated for the interests of the masses as against the classes. Vote the Democratic ticket and you will vote right. The Republican tricksters, heelers and waul workers are endeavoring to fix up trades for one or two of their con nty candidates ; they arc ofleriug to sacrifice the whole of the ticket to secure votes for these two favorites. Democrats should pay no attention to these tempters: they wear the livery of heaven to serve his Satanic Majesty. Democrats desire no trading ; they are in the field to win on and for principle. Pullman, of Pullman Palace and Sleeping Car fame, has contributed $250,000 to the RepublicanJ campaign fund in Illinois, and $100,000 to the Republican campaign fund in Indiana. This is just as expected —Pullman wants the new Indiana tax law changed so that his sleeping and pal ace ears will not be taxed in Indiana, and he doubtless has the promise oi the Republicans that if they carry the legislature they will change the law to suit his selfish ends. Every tixjiayer who desires that just and equal taxation be levied On all properly should vote the Democratic ticket from top to bottom. Brunerstown.

The Moaninii of Another Democratic Victory Tills Year.

Everythin!! Democracy Has Fought For In a Generation. '/ssa? ..a. ... HBSBn

It Means t!i« Continuance of the Reform, So Well Begun—Democracy's Record the Best Ever Made by Any Political Party In Any Land—To Penult a Republican Victory Now Is to Abandon a Field Already Won. Before nrxt Tuesday every Democrat in Indiana should ifivo careful consideration to what Democratic victory or Democratic defeat on that day means. If he does so he will ro to the polls and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Not only that, but he will use his utmost endeavors that every Democratic vote shall be cast. And such a victory is well worth flKlitinfr for. Not boeanso it would be gratifying to party pride, hut because it would redound to the glory of the republic and to the good of the people. For 30 years, until 1S93, the Democrats had had no opportunity to fulfill their oft repeated pledges to redeem the nation from the infamous rule to which it hail been subjected by the Republican party, ever holding enough power in the government to prevent the overthrow of its nefarious legislation. But in 1893 there came a change and the Democrats secured control of every branch of the government. They found it honeycombed with Republican corruption, bankrupted by Republican extravagance ami bound hand and foot by the bonds of vicious legislation to the chariot wheels of the favored classes— the bondholders, the trusts, the monopolies and the protected manufacturers. The conditions were appalling, and such as would have made the hearts of men less brave than those Democracy had chosen to carry out the work of reform shrink from their alloted task. But those brave men never faltered, never hesitated, never knew weariness, and impartial history will bear out the statement that, in the same length of time, no party ever carried out so many reforms or abolished so many abuses as has the Democratic party in the last 14 months. Wrongs which had been entrenched behind 30 years of Republican legislation have been righted. False principles of finance and taxation, under which the country had been steadily drifting toward the commercial disaster which finally came in 1893, were set aside and the nation once more started on the high road to genuine and permanent prosperity. The departments at Washington have been cleared of hundreds of useless clerks and hangers on. The federal election law, designed to suppress popular government, has been wiped off the statute books. The Sherman law, which made of silver a mere commodity of trade, has been repealed. Greenbacks huge been made taxable, thus cutting off one of the most unrighteous means of tax dodging ever employed by the wealth of the laud to evade its share of the expi uses of the government. Appropriations have been reduced more than $00,000,000 per year, and tho public revenues have once more been brought up to tho requirements of the government. And last, but not least, the first great step htu been taken in the reform of the tariif, a step which has vastly reduced the cost of living to every man, woman and child in the United States; has dealt a death blow to the trusts, monopolies and combines, and started the wheels, so long idle under the malign effect of Republican legislation, in every factory in the land. Was there ever before such a grand redemption of party pledges? Did any party in any land ever meet more adverse conditions? And did ever any party more grandly and more nobly proceed to tho work laid out for it ? But the great work is only just begun. Much yet remains unaccomplished. Beside, the interests that formerly fattened off tho people, hut have now been driven from their feast, desire a return. Tho work ahead is not only that of carrying on the reforms so auspiciously begun, but also that of holding tho ground already gained. The advance made is worth fighting to hold, for patriotic reasons. The safety of the laud is still menaced by the same enemies that had brought it to the verge of ruin. It is a time when each man should put the general welfare above his personal inclinations; when he should forg'>t his personal disappointments, should sink his private resentm ilts and battle for the good of all. To permit a Republican victory now is to abuudou a field already wun after a soigo of 30 years; is to command the sun of permanent prosperty, now just risen, to stand still, as did Joshua of old before the walls of Jericho. Can any Democrat afford, as a patriotic citizen, to take any chances of such result ? Can he afford to contribute to such a result by failing to vote or scratching his ticket? Can he afford to give over the joys of a victory for which ho has been lighting for 30 years ? GO TO THE POLLS EARLY.

Republleans Will Try to Clous tli« Poll* at 4 CClock, It behooves Democrats throughout tho state to go to the polls early on election day. The Republicans are desperate at the prospect of defeat and are ready to resort To the most despicable methods in order to carry out their schemes. The managers of the party have sent instructions to Republican election officers in the various precincts to take advantage wherever possible of that section of the election law which permits of the closing of the polls at 4 o'clock in the afternoon ia lueevenlof the failure of a voter to appear within a certain length of time. This is one of their schemes to prevent the laboring man from exercising his right of franchise.
